The inherently risk-averse nature of journalism discourages experimentation with unproven methods that might risk credibility or audience engagement. Technological challenges further complicate integration of new tools into established workflows, requiring ongoing adaptation and learning. Effective leadership is crucial for championing change, yet without a clear vision and strong leadership, efforts can lack direction. Moreover, without concrete metrics for measuring success and holding parties accountable, sustaining momentum for change becomes challenging. Overcoming these barriers requires a comprehensive strategy that emphasizes clear communication, stakeholder engagement, and a commitment to gradual, inclusive transformation.
